"Dear Juno," - Dalila G’s Letter to Juno

Dear Juno or any other Teen in a similar situation,

Everyone has their own version of what’s right or wrong, so I can’t say whether or not someone’s choice was necessarily right or wrong

because they can think otherwise. Whether you agree with me or not, in my opinion I would say that what you decided to do in your situation

was smart. I don’t think you’re at all ready to become a mom. I don’t see any real potential in you to become a mom at this moment, maybe in

the future but not now. Even though I see no “mom” qualities in you right now, you are most definitely a strong-willed individual. The courage

you had to go 9 months pregnant with excessive hunger, an abundant amount of pee, and having your body completely change just to give the

baby away for an adoption really makes me wish more women were like you. Even though I am for the idea of women having the choice of

abortion, I would wish that there were more like you. One day, the baby you gave birth to will thank you for not going through an abortion, and

in the process you also fulfilled the dreams for a woman who could never conceive her own but was given the precious gift of life, a baby. You

put that baby into a safe environment where it will be cherished forever my a mother who has waited years to have a baby of her own. Now,

you could’ve avoided going through all of this by simply using a condom or any form of protection against getting pregnant because come on

you’re still a child, you’re sixteen! Next time maybe use your brain instead of your rushing emotions.
